An improved analytical method for the quantitative measurement of tianeptine and its main metabolite MC5 in human plasma was designed. Extraction involved ion-paired liquid-liquid extraction of the compounds from 1.0 ml of human plasma adjusted to pH 7.0. HPLC separation was performed using a Nucleosil C18, 5 microm column (150x4.6 mm I.D.) and a mixture of acetonitrile and pH 3, 2.7 g l(-1) solution of sodium heptanesulfonate in distilled water (40:60, v/v) as mobile phase. UV detection was performed using a diode array detector in the 200-400 nm passband, and quantification of the analytes was made at 220 nm. For both tianeptine and MC5 metabolite, the limit of quantitation was 5 microg l(-1) and the calibration curves were linear from 5 to 500 microg l(-1). Intra- and inter-assay precision and accuracy fulfilled the international requirements. The recovery of tianeptine and its metabolite from plasma was, respectively, 71.5 and 74.3% at 20 microg l(-1), 71.2 and 70.8% at 400 microg l(-1). The selectivity of the method was checked by verifying the absence of chromatographic interference from pure solutions of the most commonly associated therapeutic drugs. This method, validated according to the criteria established by the Journal of Chromatography B, was applied to the determination of tianeptine and MC5-metabolite in human plasma in pharmacokinetic studies.
